SMARTePLANS Works for Me

Over the years I’ve heard some REALLY GOOD stories. So with the new web page, both Agents and Consumers have the opportunity to share their anecdotes of “how” a SMARTePLAN® worked for them. So send them in by email so we can SHARE![Link to Contact us]

To protect the privacy of consumers (Buyers / Sellers), no last names are used and only the street name or neighborhood is given.

Looking forward to hearing those stories! ☺

I called on Judith again to engage her company's services for another beautiful home that we put on the market this spring in Houston's Energy Corridor. This time we had a great two story home with a pool and covered outdoor patio that was well taken care of thanks to the attention and upkeep by our amazing clients. Without a doubt, having SMARTePLANS® as part of our marketing plan for this home was one of the huge factors in putting our listing over the top. Judith had everything ready to go by the time we went on the market. This allowed us to set our client's home apart from other listings on the market from the beginning and created a frenzied "wow" factor. At our grand opening that first weekend we had over 120 attendees and the home sold the next day! I am already looking forward to our next venture with SMARTePLANS® as it's an essential part of our marketing.

Judith did a phenomenal job on my client's SMARTePLAN that was extremely detailed and interactive. I had a listing on a gorgeous two-story Trendmaker home in the fall of 2016 with upgrades galore, an amazing backyard that included a beautiful pool and spa, extensive landscaping, and garden. The SMARTePLAN definitely helped people understand the amenities of this extraordinary property. I feel like the sale of the property was definitely enhanced in every way by the interactive floor plan and the amenities text that Judith meticulously carried out.

"Take a sprawling one story home of more than 3,500 sf including a converted garage sitting on a lot of more than 11,000 sf. Add unique features like a sunken fountain in the Dining Room, a Master Bedroom large enough for a small home, and a pool hidden behind the converted garage. Mix in the need for significant updating. The result is a potential marketing failure.

A part of my marketing solution was to use a SmartePlan. The SmartePlan was able to convey the expanse of the home and how it related to the exceptionally large lot. Once a Buyer arrived, the SmartePlan helped them not become confused as they toured the home. We had more than 100 showings, a record for me. I am convinced the SmartePlan was a significant factor in attracting so many Buyers and getting this home under contract."

"I had a listing on a tri-level penthouse with a large pool and terrace. Judith did an amazing SmartePlan that was interactive. The plan definitely helped people understand the amenities of this extraordinary property. It was a large factor in the sale of the property."

"Earlier this year I had a listing for a patio home in the Museum District that had been on the market previously. It had been withdrawn before I could schedule a Smart ePlan. This time, I was able to schedule the plan to be ready when we hit the market. The home was priced considerably higher per square foot than other patio homes in the neighborhood. The Smart ePlan and accompanying Amenities Text effectively communicated how the home's layout and features justified the premium. We got the price. My client was pleased that I provide a higher level of service by using Smart ePlans."

“As usual, Judith and her team at Smart E Plans helped push our listing over the top. We had a great townhouse to start with thanks to the upkeep and attention to detail that my clients had while living there. The house was in great shape and well taken care of. What Smart E Plans allowed us to do was create a story and provide a wow factor to those that would be looking. Within the first three days on the market we had 15 showings and an offer came in that we were more than pleased with. I believe having the Smart E Plan separated our marketing effort from “all the other townhouses out there”. With Smart E Plans you see the nooks and crannies before you get there and you see how those can be valuable storage space for a townhouse. Smart E Plans are a true must marketing tool that helps push you over the top.”

“ When I started working on getting this listing ready to go to market I mentioned to my clients that I was going to have an interactive floor plan company come and create a floor plan for us. My clients told me they had a floor plan already. I thought that was great, I already had a floor plan and wouldn’t have to order one. A week or so went by and I got to thinking I need to ask Judith about this. My listing was a townhouse with some architectural features but it is fairly normal townhouse. Townhouses aren’t created to be different they are created to all be alike within a community. Well, Judith set me straight by showing me a Smart E Plan they created for another townhouse in a comparable area. I couldn’t have been more wrong in my assessment that the floor plan we had would be sufficient. From one Agent to Another…it’s worth the time and money and your listing will set you apart.”

“I agree that the Smart E Plan helped sell our house more quickly. Several of the people that looked at our house (including our buyer) were from out of town, and it helped them “walk through” our house before they had been inside. When they came for a showing, they already had an idea of what to expect. It was also helpful to have all the amenities listed out separately. It highlighted individual features of each room instead of having one long list of amenities. Judith was thorough and professional and having the floor plan differentiated our listing from others.”

OLDIES .. BUT GOODIES!

Actually, I don’t get to interact with the Home Seller very often. I am usually accompanied by the Agent while I’m taking measurements of the property — and the owners are at work. But a few Home Sellers were so happy with their floor plans they made the extra effort to track me down and insisted on giving me a quote for my advertising. I really treasure these comments that came in early-on … when I was first starting. And, even though the webpage format has been updated … y’know I just want to hold onto these, and always remember the thoughtful kindness of them. THANK YOU!

What Home Sellers Say ……………

“The SMARTePLAN® was the most important factor in our choice of a Realtor! We both were impressed with the sample we were shown, and for a potential buyer, to be able to see the floor plan with links to the photographs is invaluable and so much easier to understand.Judith is efficient, precise and yet unobtrusive, and produced such a fine rendition of our home while integrating/linking it with the photographs that when we first viewed it, the finished product “sold” us on our own home!”

“Thanks, Judith! You did a GREAT job! I wish my new city had SMARTePLANS®! I’m so tired of looking at pictures without room measurements!”
Peggy H.; West University

“Our home sat on the market over a year with little activity. The Realtor said “it was the market”. The new realtor hired Judith to do a SMARTePLAN®. Wow! What a difference in activity, and we had a contract in 66 days! It wasn’t “the market” it was “the marketing”. I absolutely recommend SMARTePLANS!”
